The One Hundred Thirteenth United States Congress will be the next meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government. It will be composed of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives based on the results of the 2012 Senate elections and the 2012 House elections. The seats in the House will be apportioned based on the 2010 United States Census. It is scheduled to meet in Washington, D.C. from January 3, 2013 to January 3, 2015, during the fifth and sixth years of Barack Obama's Presidency. Senators elected to regular terms in 2008 will be in the last two years of those terms during this Congress. This will be the first Congress elected from congressional districts that were apportioned based on the 2010 census. At its outset, this Congress will have 43 African American members (all in the House of Representatives), [1] a record high number of female (100)[2] and LGBT (7)[3] members, and one member of the Kennedy family returning to elective federal office after a brief pause from public service from the family.
